PROCEEDINGS IN THE POLICE COURT. Yesterday, in the Police Court, Judge Snell, the hearing I the cases agalnst S. G. Cabell, Charles Diekson,and John N. Minnix, charged with con- spiracy In putting in insufictent bonds with pro= posals for carrying the mails, was continued after our report closed. The court, with the assistance of Mr. Bliss, examiaed some of the papers, and remarked: “The saine 575 acres of land in Mor- gan county, Kentucky, seems to run through all the bids,” and asked if that was the case. The defence replied in the affirmative. ‘The Court,—*In each case the amount 1s small; very stnall.?

In the Police Court this afternoon a large clothes basket full of bids were placed before Judge Snell toexamine. Mr. Bliss sald that they were making some progress, as {t had been virtually admitted that it was the custom for the bidders to offer the same bondstnen as surety on several bonds; that the government had lost nothing by these alleged straw bonds; that Cabell made 8,109 bids, and gave as surety Minnix and Dickson in the sum of $1,982.45; that they secured 39 contracts, and gave bonds in the sum Of $17,300, an average of $446 for | thing but depressed look: THE CONVICTED ASSASSIN.

GUITEAU GOING TO HIRE NOTED LAWYERS. He stated toa guard that he would secure the Services of two or three lawyers of note to argue the in the Court in General Term, The Prisoner Interviewed. About two o'clock Gen. Crocker arrived at the Jail, and admission to the cell was given several reporters, Being asked how he rested, he replied: “Thad a little headache yesterday, but am more free of it now.” “What did you think of the verdict?” was the next question. He replied: “I was surprised at it, for I thought the jury would hang. I don’t despair, however, for the court In banc will give me justice.” A reporter remarked: “Your brother John does not seem so sanguin Guiteau said: “Wel, J phn never has taken any S ut the cause. He has all png been down.” Will Mr. Scoville argue the case in General Term?” lawyers then to do certain work, I don’t axree with Mr. Scoville’s theory, but he has done the best he could, and he ts not fully uate to argue Une case there. Of course, he will st.” “Will Mr. Merrick appedr?” was next asked, and Guiteau replied, “I do not know whether he will in person, but he will be consulted. J understand question of jurisdiction, and perhaps he will argue the question.” At tills po'nt Guiteau’s face showed some excite- ment, and looking at a newspaper he asked: “What kind of men were on the jury. They were not the right kind of meu, (read- ing) ‘All had ‘their grog and 4 cigar each meal,’ he said. “Is that the kind of an to represent this great Christian nation?— grog and czars. Gentiemen, you may say that I am welland in good spirits.’ “Tuts ts about all I have to say to-dy.” THE MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL TO BE FILED BSATUR- Day. Mr. Scoville had a short conference with Judge Cox this morning. Subsequently he stated to a reporter of THe Stax that he would prepare his motion for a new trial, and would probably file it on Saturday. Mr. Scoville called at the jail at 2 o'clock to-day, but before calling on the prisoner spent some time in consultation with the warden. District Attorney Corkhill Compliments the Jury. District Attorney Corkhill was taking it easy in his office this morning, enjoying a well-earned letsure. “There’s one thing I will say about the result of the trial,” he remarked to a Srar repor- ter, “and that js, itis a vindication of the admin- istration of law in this District, I never bad such a fine jury. It was composed of earnest, con- selentious, determined men. Any suggestion that that jury was tampered with 1s absurd. You could not have approached any member of that jury, AS a matter of fact, all the juries drawn by Mr. Riggs—now dead—who was tlie commlssioner who selected the nimes of these jurors, have been exceptionally fine.” TRE EXECUTION MAY TAKE PLACE IN JULY. ‘The district attorney thinks that all motions can be disposed of so.as to have the execution take place early in July. Mr. Porter will leave for New York this evening. A REUNION QF THE JURORS. There was a reunion of the jurors in the mar- shail’s office at the City Hall this morning. They came to draw their feos, and Deputy Williams and his assistant were kept busy for some time. BUSINESS LOSSES SUSTAINED BY JURYMEN. Many of the jurymen by their long confinement were subjected to positive inconvenience and losses in business, one in particular, a commission merchant, having lost $5,000 in one case through his inabillty to consult or advise with his employees in a certain matter, the details of which were known to himself alone, WHAT THE JURY COST THE GOVERNMENT. ‘The cost to the government for board and main- tenance of the jury has been $3,600, and for their pay, (two dollars per day for 73 days) $1.752, an aggregate of $5,352 forthe item of jury expenses alone. Dispatches of Congratulation. District Attorney Corkhill has recelved many congratulatory messages. Among those received this morning was one from J. L. Bennett, at Rock- ford, Ill, saying: “The following resolution was passed unanimously by the Department Encamp- ment of the Grand Army of the Republic, now in session at Rockford: Resolved, That’ we tender our profoundest thanks to the jury who tried the murderer of our beloved comrade, James A, Gar- field, for the Just verdict so promptly found.” Another from Washington, Pa., signed by the students of W. and J. college, sald: “Cremating furnace is in perfect order. Ship prisoner as soon as sentenced.” *. ‘Dr. John P. Gray, the expert, sent the following from Utica, N.Y.: “I congratulate you that after six months of untold wearing, anxiety and re- sponsibility you have vindicated the law and se- each contract, and thal the amount of bonds of- fered In all cases was wbout three times as much as the bid. ‘The defence consented to let_ the bids fo In as evidence without the court, reading them, he government admitted that Mr. Cabell was paying sub-contractors more than he recelved from the government.

THE DESERTED COURT ROOM TO-DAY. The Criminal Court room this morning presented an unusual appearance, and for the first time for three months there was no crowd. There were probably thirty or forty persons present, and among them were Mr. J. W. Guiteau and several members of the jury, Who called for their pay. Judge Cox, with District Attorney Corkhill, came in a few minutes after 10 o'clock, and the court was opened and adjourned till 11 o'clock to-morrow. Guiteau’s First Statement, THE STORY OF HIS LIFE AND CRIME AS DIPARTED TO ANOVHER PRISONER. It will be remembered that as soon as possible after the assassin Guiteau fired the shots he was taken to the jail and was at once placed tn a cell. A short time after hiscommitment the Jail officials, at the suggestion of government officers, isolated him from the other prisoners. About noon the same day such en was made of the other prisoners that Guiteau was unable to have inter- ‘Tuerr BY A TRawp.—A tramp habited in com- | Course With any of them.

As announced in the extra edition of THe Star last evening, almost simultaneously with the an- nouncement of the verdict in the court room, the Guiteau trial came to an end at 5:35 p. m., with a verict of “guilty as indicted.” ‘The closing scenes in the court room were rendered unusually solemn and weird by the filckering ght of the candles, which had been hastily procured, to illuminate the courtroom. Mr. Porter finished his address to the Jury at 3:15 p. m. Judge Cox then delivered his charge (a compre- hensive abstract of which was published in the third edition of Tax Stax), reading very rapidly from his manuscript. It required more thin.an hour and a half in delivery. At quarter to five o'clock he delivered the case to the jury, which re- tired to the grand jury room, on the setond floor. A few minutes afterwards the court took a recess until half-past five, and the prisoner was removed to the marshal’s room. Promptly at half-past five clock the court reassembled. Five minutes later the jurymen were {n the seats. The prisoner's face Was protected froin scrutiny by the darkness tnat bung like a pall about the deck. While an impressive silence roigaed, theelerk held the old famillar colloquy with the foreman of the jury,and When Mr. Hamlin said the words “GUILTY, AS INDICTED.” There was an involuntary burst which required all the vociferous eflerzy of the court officers to restrain. The jury, at the request of Mr. Scoville, was potled, and as the last man responded guilty, the prisoner sjouted from the dock: “My blood will be upon the heads of that jury; don’t you forget it.” Mr. Scoville then asked the court as to future proceedings, and was informed that he had applause, | four daysin which to tile his mottons. ‘The court allowed him time also to note his exceptions to the Judge's charge, Gu;teau again shonted fi the dock: “Gol will avenge this outrage.” Judge Cox made a brief speech, returning thanks to the jury for the atient and conscientious performance of their juties, and the court adjourned; the jurymen dis- persing to their homes after a confinement of sev- one days. Guiteau was soon after returned al Incidents of the ‘Trial. GOSSIP OF THE COURT ROOM—HOW THE JURY STOUD— WHAT THE PRISONER SAID ABOUT THE JUDGE'S CHARGE. £ When the court took a recess yesterday afternoon till 5:30 o'clock It was supposéd by some to indi- cate that the jurors would not soon agree upon a verdict, while others took the more logical view that It augured a speedy agreement. The surmise in Tue Sax of yesterday that the jury would be out “only a sufficient length of time to indicate that they were giving consideration to the judg: charge,” was considered by many as a very bad guess, WAITING FOR THE VERDICT. A number of people 1n the court room, having been present from early morning, vacated their seats, saying: “If the jury should agree, we will see it in the papers in the morning.” Others sent for luncheon, and prepared to remain for some hours at least, The windows of the grand jury room, where the jury was deliberating, was care- fully Watched by those outside fm expectation of some sign as to the agreement or disagreement of the jury. Some of the clerks In the recorder of deeds office brought down word that all was quiet Up Stilts—a pretty good indication that there was no disagreement and no necessity to argue. At 5:25 o'clock, a tap on the inside’of the door was an indication that they were ready;to come into court, and Messrs. Allen, Searle, and F. Douglas, the bailiffs, quietly informed ti al. THE PRISONER DURING THE RECEM—BIS OPINION OF THE JUDGE'S CHARGE, The prisoner, while the court was in recess, was inthe marshal’s private office, in which were also halt a dozen policemen. He then seemed to be perfectly composed, and when asked his opinion of the judge’s charge sal 1, “The charge was a fair one, very satisfactory to me, although he might have been a little more ltberal towards me. Take tall in all, Tam satisfied with it It might have been a little stronger if he had mentioned that dectsion of the New York court of ap- peals.” He seemed quite neryous, but strove conceal his uneasiness, by pretending to be intent on his occupation of writing autographs, GUITEAU’S RETURN 10 THE JAIL. Gulteau, after arriving at the jail last evening, graciously thanked his “body guard” for their attentions to him. He said to a reporter: “You can say to the American people that I have not given up hope, I will go to the court in ban, and am satisfied that the Fodges will give ne a fair show for my life.” WHAT THE COUNSEL SAID. Mr. Scoville said after the verdict was rendered that he was not greatly surprised. Last week he had some hope of a disagreement, but he saw evi- dences during the last day or twowhich made him belleve that the jury had settled upon a verdict of guilty. He said he was surprised at Judge Cox’s course in reviewing the testimony, and held that the judge should ‘either have reviewed it all or les it entirely alone. He trisisted that he could show all fair-minded men that Guiteau was in- sane. Mr. Reed still expressed himself as firmly con- ‘vinced that Guiteau was a lunatle, but said he had no doubt as to the verdict after hearing the judge’s charge. He said that there was a question as to the legality of a trial carried from one term of a court to another, without any special legislation to eMpistrlct Attorney Cork the opinto 01 inion that the motion Tor a new tial and: the elfore to get the case before the General Term would be un- availing.

Judge Cox’s charge delivered to the jury yester- day, a synopsis of which was printed in the third edition of THe Sar last evening, was generally complimented by lawyers for {ts clear presenta- tion of law, and just consideration of the facts of the case, as appited to the various theories raised. Judge Cox, gave a full explanation of the law com*non to'all murder cases, and an exhaustive re- view of the law regarding insanity. During the course of his remarks he Said: “The prisoner had frequently taken Oceasion to proclaim that pubite opinion, as evidenced by the press and corresp n- dence Was tn his . Those declarations could not have been prevented, except by the process of gagging the prisoner. Any suggestion that the jury couid be influenced by such Lawless clattering Of the prisoner would have seemed to him absurd, anid he should have felt that he wa intelligence of the Jury it he had warned them not to regard it, Counsel for the prosecution had felt ft necessary, however, In the final arguurent to in- terpose a contradiction to such stitements; and an exception had been taken on the part of the Accused to the form in which that effort was made, For the sole purpose of purging the re:ord of any objectionable matter he should simply say that anything which hid been said on elther side in reference to public excitement or to newspaper opiatoa was not to be regarded by the jury.” Tn regard to the law of Insanity, he said that a defendant was presumed to be sane, anil t) have been so at the time the crime was committed. As to the question of reasonable doubt, be sald all that a jury could be expected to do was to be reasonably and morally certain of the facts which they declared to be their verdict. A jury was not | warranted In inferring thit a man was {insane from the inere fact of his committing a crime or trom the enormity of the crime, or from the appa- rent absence of adequate motive for the crime, | because the law presumes that there is a bad motive, and that the crime is prompted by mali If nothing else appears. After discussing the question of insane delusion, Judze Cox gild that the jury would consider, first, whether the evidence fairly represented the feel ings and ideas that governed the prisoner at the Ume of the shooting. It it did, st represented a thing wilch he (Judge Cox) had*not sen char- acterized in any judicial utterance as an insane delusion. They would consider whether it was evidence of fusanity, Or Whether, on the contrary, Itshowed an ampié power of reasoning and re- flection, resutting In the opinion that the Presi- dent had betrayed his party, and that, if he were out of thé way, it would be a benefit to his party and would save the country from the om. nance of their political opponents. So far there | was nothing Insane in the conclusion. It had doubtless been shared by a good many heated partisans who were sane people ;but the difference Was that the prisoner reached the conclusions that, to put the President out of the way. by assas- sination was a political necessity, Wien men reason, the law required them t) reason cor- rectly, so far as their practical duties were con- cern Judge Cox went on tosay that the question for the jury was whether, on the one hand, the idea of Killing the Presttent first, presented itseli to the defendant in the shape of a command or insptra- tion of the Deity inthe manner in which fnsane delusions of that sort arose, or whether, on the other hand, it was a concepiion of his own, and whether the thought of inspiration was not simply a speculation or theory or theoretical con- clusion of hisown mind. If it were the latter, it ‘was nothing more than one of the vagaries of reasoning which he had already characterized as furnishing no excuse for crime. Inconclusion he said: “And now, gentlemen, to sum up all J have said to you, if you find from the whole evidence that, at the time of the commission of the homicide, thg prisoner was laboring under such a defect of hifreason that he was incable of understanding what he was doing, or of seeing that {t wasa wrong thing to do—as for example, if he were under the insane delusion that the AL mighty had commanded htm to do the act—then he Was not in a responsible condition of mind, ‘but was an object of compassion,and should be now acquitted. If, on the other hand, you find that he ‘Was under no insane delusion, but had the posses— sion of his faculties, and had’ power to know that his act was wrong; and if, of his own free will, he deliberately conceived the idea and executed the homicide, then whether his motive were person: lesire to vindictiveness, political animosity, a avenge su) political wrongs, or a morbid de- sire for not or, if you are unable to discover riet} any motive at ad thé act is simply murder, and it is your duty to find a verdict of guilty as indicted. OF (after @ suggestion from MF. Scoville to that effect) If you find that the prisoner is not guilty by Feason of insanity, it 1s your duty to say so. You will now retire to your room and consider your verdict.” ‘MRB. GARFIELD'S RECEPTION OF THE VERDICT.
